Striking renovation in the rougher part of the 17th arrondissement.

Ugly commieblock before:




Nice condominium after:




Yep, all pictures show the very same building, pretty spectacular and exciting, isn't it?
It costed € 10 million to do this, which appears a very fair price to me since in addition to the new facade, the 96 apartments have been extended and all fittings and equipments must have been modernized in there. Great work of architects Frédéric Druot, Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal who also own the picures above.

This area is where will be located the last stop of the T2 light rail line (curently under in construction), linking Bezons to la Defense, Issy Val de Seine and Porte de Versailles in inner Paris.

Dominique Perrault: Citylights - le campus du pont de sèvres

Internationally-recognized french architect Dominique Perrault has redrawn plans for the Pont de Sèvres towers in Boulogne-Billancourt, france with 'citylights', a scheme to transform and re-urbanize the western suburb of Paris. stripping the old façades of the pre-existing towers, the design features a double layer skin that alternates between transparency and silver shades, providing a rhythmic effect to the highly geometric structures.




Situated close to the Seine, the buildings are a composition of three towers which each serve asthe main bodies or 'petals' in the layout.
Hexagonal volumes terminate at different heights, creating a visual effect similar to an organ flues assembly.
Working with the original proportions and identity of
the architecture, the new facade design features a 'bracelet' treatment which work with oblique creases and folds.
The finish multiplies the reflections on all perspectives, providing vibrant and light-filled bands
all around the buildings.



In order to provide more connection at the natural ground level, the elevated entrance of the towers is brought back to the same level of the city.
The lobby links up the buildings on three levels, offering a generous space for meetings and exchanges.
Within nearly 70,000 m2 of office floors, additional programs such as restaurants, cafeterias, a fitness club, a travellers' lobby, intercompany nursery and more are offered throughout.

Yeah, that mall was actually interesting! I liked the BIG and Snöhetta proposals the most. I'm still not in favour of suburban malls, but at least these look interesting, I like the roof-top parks.

Citylights: I like the skyline shot of Midtown Manhattan. Not a fan of the non-urban ground level of the project though. I realize Paris doesn't have anywhere near as much a problem with this as Stockholm, but if non-urban sground levels is seen as a good / avantgard thing... it'll become a real problem.

It is not a skyline shot of Midtown Manhattan, it is La Défense.
The skyline is not well positioned, I mean that the picture is inversed but I clearly recognize Tour First, Tour Total, tour Areva and other skyscrapers of La Défense.

Citylights is the renovation of an existing tower, the actual ground level is much less urban.

huh, I thought I saw the Citicorp building in there. My bad.

That entrance looks monumental, understated and unwelcoming. Not a good design.

Your bad was quite flattering and funny, Swede. I would admit that the district skyline looks cool on that edited picture though. They shot it from the viewpoint that makes it look the biggest.

About Citylights itself, the buildings to be renovated are commonly called a fortress. So that site mustn't be an easy one to work on when it comes to integrate it with its surroundings. Just one more great achievement of the 1970s. That renovation will be a welcome refreshment anyways.

Oh wow... Am I dreaming? Some fair quality social housing at last?

Housing ZAC Claude Bernard
  • Project by: Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes
  • Location: Paris, France
  • Program: Social housing with 93 apartments (28 apartments with intermediate rent and possibility to buy, 65 social housings, 655 m2 shop area, 1145 m2 offices, workshops for small firms, 78 parkings)



The building is part of a recently developed area in the North of Paris (19th district).

The main façade — south — faces an urban boulevard — Boulevard Mac Donald. The new tram way under construction will serve the area in a few months. Next to the housing, a school group, offices and facilities have been built.

The main volume of the housing is 10 stories high and measures 45 x 32 m. A small patio lights up naturally the center. Shops situated on the ground floor and offices on the 1st floor complete the building. All apartments are double oriented and a generously outdoor space — balcony, roof, terrace or loggia — are provided for each apartment. The outdoor spaces enlarge naturally the living rooms and dining area. The loggias are about 10 m2; their dimension allows the comfortable placement of a table.

The apartments are laid out on a grid of 3m20 and offer a multitude of types from studios to large 4/5 room apartments. One of the major topics has been the possible evolution by combining the apartments and adapting them to new situations over generations. The plan, composed of modules allows to reorganize and to resize the apartments.

A 30cm low parapet allows vertical openings and assures comfortable natural light in all rooms.

Solar panels on the roof provide hot water. A two stories underground parking contains 78 places, storage rooms and a large department for cycles.

Facade:

The building is well insulated on the outside face of the facade. The top skin is made of polycarbonate cellular panels of three different degrees of transparency. (Transparent, translucent, opaque).

The skin provides a depth (profoundness) to the facade by its transparency, while a film behind the panels uniforms the background. Reflected sunlight gives the building it’s special flair.

The facade of the base of the building (shops and offices) is composed by glass and concrete panels.

One storey:

Workshops with an open height of 5 meters are situated in the courtyard facing the main building.

A delivery area for small trucks is provided. The project proposes a mix of functions in a very high density.
More pictures, including the interior and some plans in their article. They say the project costed € 12.43 million, but another source says 13.43. A bit more or less than 140k per unit anyways. Cool but this is central Paris that's wealthy. When stuff like this is built all over the poor suburbs, I'll be really impressed. BTW the previous post is some social housing as well, but still in the old wealthy center.

For the very 1st time since its completion in 1972, the 59-story tour Montparnasse is allowed to show off!

She may be calling for some fellas to surround her at last, as room could be made around her with no heartbreaking demolition. At least, a recladding is expected. There would be a €100 to 300 million plan to modernize this spot of old Montparnasse.

Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation (i.e. LVMH's art patronage activities).
Mind you:



Under construction in the Jardin d'Acclimatation (Bois de Boulogne).







Thanks to Milo for these pictures.

There's gonna be an art gallery in there. I'm assuming it would host their foundation offices as well.
